Anyone here have any experience with .40 Super? Or where to find load data? Thanks for any assistance.

Never heard of this cartridge.



More than a 40 S&W, but less than 10mm?




Ah google is your friend.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.40_Super




No a 45 Win mag necked down to 40.

That is a pretty neat round.  Never heard of it.  But I really like the idea of it.  Please let us know how your load work ups go.

How is it different from .400 Cor Bon?  

Could it use the same data?

400 Corbon is 45 ACP case necked down.



40 Super is 45 Win Magnum case necked down.



Big difference is case capacity and pressure case can withstand.



All in the links I posted above.
